Location formats and grids

The application can display and search locations in almost any coordinate system.

For all of them, the associated grid (geodetic or projected) can be displayed on the map, along with grid square notations for UTM, MGRS, OSGB, Irish Grid, TPC Grid and DFCI grid systems.

By default, the coordinates of the screen center location are displayed in an information box located at the top left of the screen.
